Overview

Opened: 8/19/1933

Two island platforms and a standard four track local/express configuration, The tile stripe is medium purple with a black border. The station has no name tablet and features gold colored I-Beams. There are two control towers here, one at each end of the platforms. East of the station, the tunnel widens to allow the 63rd Street Line's ramps to rise and lead trains to merge with either the local or express tracks. Prior to the 63rd Street Connector project, completed in 2001, a fifth track had already existed, used for turning trains during off-peak service times.
